For the record

In a 2009 article on MPs' expenses, we said "senior Labour sources" had predicted that Shahid Malik MP, who had stepped down as justice minister pending an investigation into his renting a flat in his Dewsbury constituency from a local businessman, would not return to government and that the prime minister, Gordon Brown, had "lost confidence in Malik". We should record that Mr Malik was cleared of any breaches of the expenses' code and returned to government under Mr Brown until the 2010 general election ("Artists and activists join in call for electoral reform", News, 24 May).

"Meet the Changs. They want to dress you" (Magazine) announced that the fashion chain Forever 21 "is about to open its first store in Britain", overlooking the branch that opened in Birmingham Bullring last November. Apologies.

St Bernard of Clairvaux is not "best remembered as the namesake of those elephantine shaggy dogs" ("Modern life is rubbish – just ask Dante", Books). They are named after another St Bernard, of Menthon, the 11th-century monk who established hostels for travellers on the treacherous Alpine pass between Switzerland and Italy that also bears his name.
